00:00:00So
00:02:30Adolf Hitler immediately ordered an attack on France, but his offensive was postponed until spring 1940.
00:02:38On May 10th, Hitler's Nazi Germany invaded France.
00:02:42Allied troops from all over Europe were pushed back to Paris and then to the coast.
00:02:48Britain evacuated hundreds of thousands of military refugees from Dunkirk from May 26th to June 4th.
00:02:55Barely one month later, in early July of 1940, Nazi Germany began what was to become known as the Battle of Britain.
00:03:05Germany's air force, called the Luftwaffe, began bombing harbors along Britain's east coast.
00:03:10The British Royal Air Force, especially the RAF Fighter Command, fought furiously.
00:03:18By September of 1940, the Nazis switched their targets to large British cities.
00:03:24This continued for almost a year, lasting until May of 1941.
00:03:28Terrifying civilians with wave after wave of night bombings called the Blitz, German bombers left large portions of London in rubble.
00:03:38Part of the Battle of Britain was fought on the radio, and propaganda stars on both sides were created.
00:03:45Many are familiar with Germany's Dresden Dahl, Brunelda von Vollenberg, who was swept up by the Nazi party when she was a theater star in Berlin.
00:03:56Britain had its own silk voices that preyed on the emotional weaknesses of enemy pilots.
00:04:00One was Marguerite of der Heide.
00:04:04And again, good evening.
00:04:09Here is Marguerite of der Heide.
00:04:14Ich richte mich an die Piloten und Mannschaften der Kampfflugzeuge, die sich momentan in der Luft befinden,
00:04:26in Vorbereitung eines erneuten Bombardements von London und Umgebung.
00:04:34Ich habe mich jeden Abend an sie gewendet, habe sie angefleht, mit dem, was sie tun, aufzuhören und nach Deutschland zurückzukehren,
00:04:51ohne weitere unschuldige Menschen zu ermorden.
00:04:58Hierzu gehören viele Kinder.
00:05:01Meine Worte sind bisher auf taube Ohren gestoßen.
00:05:10Am heutigen Abend ändert sich der Inhalt meiner Botschaft.
00:05:19Ich weiß, sie glauben, dass sie nur dem Befehl ihrer Vorgesetzten folgen,
00:05:28aber das entschuldigte nicht diese grässliche Zerstörung.
00:05:36Die Zerstörung von Briten
00:05:45Was strong.
00:05:47By the summer of 1941, German attacks subsided.
00:05:51On Sunday, December 7, 1941, Japan attacked the United States Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor.
00:05:58Germany immediately declared war on the United States, in solidarity with Japan.
00:06:04This resulted in the United States declaring war on Germany,
00:06:08which was a move that the British people and the Royal Air Force High Command had been hoping for.
00:06:14Oh, you must be Major Thompson.
00:06:26Yes, sir. May I come in?
00:06:28Certainly. Please be seated.
00:06:30Thank you, Air Marshal Wilkins. Thank you.
00:06:33Uh, it's Vice Air Marshal, if you don't mind.
00:06:38Marshal Wilkins is fine.
00:06:40When did you arrive in London?
00:06:42Yesterday.
00:06:42Any problems with your journey?
00:06:45No, uh, no problems at all, but I'm certainly well aware of the problems that do exist here.
00:06:52Unfortunately, all around us.
00:06:54But at the moment, none right above our heads.
00:06:57Before we get into the discussion, Marshal Wilkins, let me express to you my personal admiration
00:07:02for the people of England, particularly here in London, during the Battle of Britain.
00:07:08Just an amazing amount of courage expressed there.
00:07:10We have had tremendous support from our civilians in all forms.
00:07:17Well, that's so good.
00:07:18Now, what kind of support can we give you?
00:07:21What do you need from us?
00:07:23Specifically, aircraft.
00:07:26You're talking about bombers, fighters, that sort of thing?
00:07:29Yes, combat aircraft.
00:07:31I really hate to tell you this, Marshal Wilkins, since this is your primary request of us, and
00:07:38that is we're going to have to decline for the present moment.
00:07:41Ah.
00:07:42Most disappointing.
00:07:45Most disappointing, Major.
00:07:48We have a number of wonderful aircraft that are coming off the drawing boards.
00:07:53But right now, today, everything we've got that flies is in the Pacific.
00:07:58You've got to remember, less than three months ago was Pearl Harbor.
00:08:01Major Thompson, if you don't mind my asking, what is your specialty?
00:08:07Intelligence.
00:08:08Same as mine.
00:08:10Then would you support us sharing intelligence?
00:08:14Not to be dismissive, Major, but we have operatives all over Europe.
00:08:21Yes, sir.
00:08:22And so do we.
00:08:25I'd like to see evidence of that.
00:08:27Well, I have that for you.
00:08:28It's in my valise, which my aide in the lobby is holding for me right now.
00:08:34Three documents that were circulated in the high command of the Luftwaffe during the Battle of Britain.
00:08:40All of them initiated by Hitler himself.
00:08:44Now, one document, which was issued before the Battle of Britain,
00:08:49clearly says that Hitler does not want to target civilians.
00:08:55The second document was issued just before the bombing of London.
00:09:01Hitler is furious that the Germans have not maintained air superiority,
00:09:06even gained it, over Great Britain.
00:09:09And then the third document.
00:09:11The third document is from Hitler just before the attack ends.
00:09:15And he's giving his reasons for backing off on subjugating Great Britain,
00:09:22at least for the moment.
00:09:23I'd like to share these documents with my colleagues.
00:09:28You mean you do not have these documents?
00:09:33No, I have not.
00:09:36And the fact that you have them, to me, is extraordinary.
00:09:41How about we work on this thing together?
00:09:45Indeed.
00:09:46Indeed.
00:09:46Indeed.
00:09:46Indeed.
00:10:11Good morning, Joe.
00:10:26It's time for your morning water.
00:10:32I know you're thirsty.
00:10:35You can go back to sleep after this.
00:10:37Good morning.
00:10:41Very good.
00:11:00Lunch should be here in a little while.
00:11:01Good afternoon.
00:11:15Good morning.
00:11:22Good morning.
00:11:27Perfect.
00:11:29Good morning.
00:11:30Good morning, Mr. Szebralski.
00:11:38Good morning, Nurse Marie.
00:11:40I hope your day is going well.
00:11:43Honestly, I'm still worried about this boy we have here.
00:11:47Nurse Marie, pardon me for one moment.
00:11:48I must sit down.
00:11:56So, this child, this boy,
00:11:58does he have pneumonia like me?
00:12:02No, he was pulled from the wreckage during the Blitz.
00:12:07That long ago?
00:12:08He's been here that long.
00:12:10Yes, we believe he had a head injury.
00:12:14Why, does he not speak?
00:12:16Only one word, Joe.
00:12:20It must be his name, like mine, Joseph.
00:12:28I'm afraid your pneumonia is getting worse.
00:12:36Yes, I fear you may be right.
00:12:39Tell me, does your building have sufficient heat?
00:12:43Only in the common areas.
00:12:45And there are no beds in the common areas.
00:12:49Sounds very uncomfortable.
00:12:51It is, but it's still better than, well,
00:12:55the alleyways of Dunkirk.
00:12:58Come with me.
00:12:59We'll take your temperature
00:13:00and then see the doctor.
00:13:04This kind of neurological injury
00:13:27can be such a bloody mystery.
00:13:31There's no signs of bleeding on the brain.
00:13:33Is he walking and standing on his own?
00:13:37Not that I've seen, Dr. Binghamton.
00:13:39The thing I'm concerned about
00:13:41is muscle deterioration.
00:13:43He does a little more than just lay there.
00:13:47He just...
00:13:49Not enough to build up his own strength.
00:13:53Nurse Marie, I may have asked you this before,
00:13:55but where do you come from?
00:13:58I come from a small town in western Kansas,
00:14:01Garden City.
00:14:02Ah, okay.
00:14:04Kind of like, uh,
00:14:06tornado country and the Wizard of Oz.
00:14:09Tornadoes do exist,
00:14:11but you rarely see them.
00:14:13I remember you telling me about your parents
00:14:15when you moved here
00:14:17during the Great War in 18.
00:14:20That's right.
00:14:21Fell in love with England.
00:14:24Certainly let me know
00:14:25if this young man's ability changes.
00:14:27changes.
00:14:29I will.
00:14:32Bravo, Major Thompson.
00:14:34Outstanding.
00:14:35Well, you must have heard about our raid on Tokyo.
00:14:38Of course.
00:14:39Everyone's talking about it.
00:14:41Very well executed.
00:14:42But tell me about this raid that you're planning.
00:14:45A thousand bombers?
00:14:49Originally, I had thought that
00:14:53if we could get close to 850 planes,
00:14:56I would still call it a thousand plane raid,
00:14:59primarily for the headlines and morale.
00:15:02Obviously.
00:15:04However, now it appears
00:15:07that we no longer have to
00:15:10overestimate
00:15:12our plane numbers
00:15:14because we have achieved our goal.
00:15:17How were you able to do that?
00:15:18Well, it's called
00:15:19The Wellington Programme.
00:15:21The Wellington.
00:17:26It's a kite with engines, but we'll do the job.
00:17:30How many of those 1,000 planes are Wellington's?
00:17:33A little over 600.
00:17:36How did you do that?
00:17:38Available materials.
00:17:40Well, more importantly, how were you able to do that with the attack going on in London?
00:17:46Most of them were not assembled in London.
00:17:51Quite a number were assembled in Ireland, Scotland, barns, warehouses, wherever.
00:17:59I must say, what an extraordinary feat of organization.
00:18:04The people working with me on this are quite industrious.
00:18:08Indeed.
00:18:10But now, as I recall, the Wellington does not have a large payload at all.
00:18:15Right you are.
00:18:16That's why we primarily are planning to use incendiaries.
00:18:22Incendiaries?
00:18:23Well, now what would be your target?
00:18:25Hamburg.
00:18:26Or, secondarily, Cologne, depending on the weather.
00:18:30So, by targeting a city, what you'll do is create a mirror image of what happened here in London with your civilian population.
00:18:44Major, the English people are perceived as being a very patient knot.
00:18:49However, that patience has run out.
00:18:53The English people now seek retribution.
00:19:00Good evening.
00:19:12Do you have a dark water course?
00:19:16May I have one of these?
00:19:30A busy night.
00:19:41Well, is that some kind of joke?
00:19:43Who are you?
00:19:47Colonel Andrei Sanoslovsky, Polish Air Force.
00:19:51Polish Air Force?
00:19:53That ain't no such thing.
00:19:55I assure you, sir, we exist.
00:20:00Well, I remember the bleeding Nazis kicking your ass.
00:20:08In 39, the Polish Army and Air Force fought a valiant struggle.
00:20:15They squashed you like a bug.
00:20:18Sir, we endured 35 days of bloody, brutal, vicious combat.
00:20:27You weren't bloody, you weren't brutal.
00:20:30I'll give you bloody and brutal.
00:20:33That was the trenches.
00:20:34That was 1918.
00:20:35Mr. Drake, for someone who works with the public, I would suggest a better disposition.
00:20:46It might help bring some customers in here.
00:20:49At the present, I am in charge of the Polish air crews.
00:20:52Two hundred men are housed a few blocks from here.
00:20:55Why is it that I need know this?
00:20:58When they are in need of recreation, will they be welcomed at this establishment?
00:21:02Well, they got some of this?
00:21:07If they do not pay their tabs, they will answer to me.
00:21:13All right, then.
00:21:32Come in.
00:21:43Vice Air Marshal Wilkins.
00:21:45Quite correct.
00:21:46And you are?
00:21:48Colonel Andriy Stanislavski, Polish Air Command.
00:21:52At your service, sir.
00:21:54Pleasure to make your acquaintance.
00:21:56Likewise.
00:21:57Please be seated.
00:22:02I'm happy that England was able to assist you in your departure from France.
00:22:10That assistance was most appreciated, sir.
00:22:14So, how are you and your men doing?
00:22:17We are alive, which was something in serious doubt before we arrived in your country.
00:22:22I imagine that they are quartering you in those drafty warehouses in Poplar.
00:22:31A far improvement over the gutters of Dunkirk, sir.
00:22:35Colonel, it's my understanding that you have some sixty men with aircraft training and expertise.
00:22:44That number, sir, is a serious underestimate.
00:22:48Well, please provide me with the correct number.
00:22:51We have sixty pilots, sir.
00:22:54In addition to navigators, radio operators, and some very fine mechanics.
00:23:00The number would top two hundred.
00:23:04Very good.
00:23:05So, Colonel, regarding light bombers, how many crews can you put together for me?
00:23:13Fifty minimum.
00:23:15Excellent.
00:23:17We must have a detailed discussion.
00:23:19The RAF is planning operations for bombing multiple sites in Western Germany.
00:23:30Are you all right, Colonel?
00:23:41How am I to understand you wish to use my men in a bombing operation against Germany?
00:23:52Part of a large operation, certainly.
00:23:55The RAF will be providing the planes and additional training.
00:24:00Of course.
00:24:01Of course.
00:24:04This operation will be executed in cooperation with the United States Army Air Corps.
00:24:12I'm having a meeting tomorrow evening with Major Thompson of the United States Army Air Corps.
00:24:20Would you like to be part of that meeting?
00:24:23Absolutely.
00:24:24I would be most honored to be there.
00:24:27Please understand that my men and I are available for anything you have in mind.
00:24:35Splendid.
00:24:38Tomorrow afternoon, before meeting with Major Thompson, I would like for you to take a look
00:24:44at the aircraft that your men will be working with.
00:24:48It's called a Wellington.
00:24:49...
00:25:04A quintessence Goodbye.
00:25:06...
00:25:09...
00:25:16...
00:25:16...
00:25:18I don't know.
00:25:48I don't know.
00:26:18I don't know.
00:26:48I don't know.
00:27:18I don't know.
00:27:20Joe!
00:27:21Joe!
00:27:22Joe!
00:27:23Joe!
00:27:24Joe!
00:27:25Joe!
00:27:26Joe!
00:27:27Joe!
00:27:28Joe!
00:27:29Joe!
00:27:30Joe!
00:27:31Joe!
00:27:32Oh my lord!
00:27:34Joe!
00:27:35Joe!
00:27:36Joe!
00:27:37Are you okay, Joe?
00:27:49Your stomach hurts? Are you hurting here?
00:27:57You're hungry!
00:28:01Well, boy, let's go get you something to eat.
00:28:16This is a big step for this young man. Do you mean he walked to the loo by himself?
00:28:21Yes, he did.
00:28:23No trouble walking?
00:28:25Not that I saw.
00:28:26What was he doing when you found him?
00:28:29Standing on a stool.
00:28:32What was he doing on a stool?
00:28:34Looking at himself in the mirror.
00:28:37Did you have to help him down?
00:28:40No, he swayed a little bit when he stepped down, but he recovered.
00:28:45Jolly good news.
00:28:46What about the respiratory ailments that the others are complaining about?
00:28:50Is this young man affected?
00:28:52No, I isolated him.
00:28:55That was a good move on your part.
00:28:59Do you think you might be able to get me some help in here?
00:29:06Nurse Marie, I don't know.
00:29:11I know you've been holding us down primarily by yourself.
00:29:14But the war effort is pulling more nurses away to train for field hospitals.
00:29:24I understand.
00:29:26The war is going to get bigger.
00:29:27Much bigger, I'm afraid.
00:29:29The war is going to need more doctors and nurses as well, and they'll be fractionating my time again.
00:29:35We're both pretty good at what we do.
00:29:42Yes.
00:29:43A blessing and a curse.
00:29:59It's a big idea.
00:30:02Ahead's description.
00:30:06Ahead's description.
00:30:07I'm now.
00:30:08Let's move here.
00:30:38Hitler, you son of a bitch. You will remember me.
00:30:47I know what that is.
00:30:49I know what that is.
00:30:53Well, well, well.
00:30:57What?
00:31:02I don't know what that is.
00:31:04I know what that does.
00:31:06A little different, but...
00:31:17My comrades, no one...
00:31:20Yes, no one can.
00:31:22Yes, they can.
00:31:25This will not...
00:31:28This will not be a problem.
00:31:30Es ist ein krasser Irrtum, den Sie und Ihre Regierung begehen.
00:31:40Der größte Teil der Welt hat sich mit uns verbündet in diesem Kampf gegen Furcht und Tyrannei.
00:31:53Ein Kampf, den Sie und Ihre Regierung angefangen haben.
00:32:02Es wird keine Invasion geben.
00:32:06Bald werden es Royal Air Force Flieger sein, die Bomben über deutschen Städten abwerfen.
00:32:17Bald werden es Ihre Familien sein, die aufschreien.
00:32:26Bald werden Sie verstehen, was wir durchmachen mussten.
00:32:32Und vergessen Sie nicht.
00:32:46Sie haben es selbst verursacht.
00:32:50Verursacht.
00:32:59Just me, Henry.
00:33:00I had an interesting day.
00:33:22I fetched a sandwich before I went in.
00:33:25And ran into Charlie.
00:33:27Charlie?
00:33:29You mean Charlie from the pub?
00:33:33Indeed.
00:33:34He told me about last Friday.
00:33:38About what?
00:33:40He says...
00:33:42Some new fliers came in.
00:33:44And all you could do was raise your voice and make them feel unwelcome.
00:33:48What does Charlie have to say?
00:33:49What business Charlie got?
00:33:54What business Charlie got?
00:33:55Reporting to you what I'm sayin'?
00:33:58He's just worried about you Henry..
00:34:00That's all.
00:34:02Yeah well, welcome to me.
00:34:06I remember Henry.
00:34:10Just as you do.
00:34:11you do. Last Friday marked one year. Yeah, since we lost our boy, Georgie. I'm feeling
00:34:26like I can move beyond that now. And I don't want to move beyond that. I understand.
00:34:41Not knowing is incredibly painful. Remember, we can talk about anything, anytime you need.
00:34:58I'm sorry. I ain't been listening to your broadcasts. I said I would. And I ain't picked
00:35:09up all on German. I promised you I would 20 years ago when we married.
00:35:20Here we go again.
00:35:21You know what? I ought to hate Germany. I really should. But they come up with you,
00:35:42didn't they? You got to give them that.
00:35:58So, Colonel Dennis...
00:36:00Andre, please.
00:36:02Andre it is. Now, Air Marshal Wilkins gave you a look today at the Wellington. What did
00:36:08you think of? Yes, and I found it to be quite geometric.
00:36:14So right you are. Major Thompson has likened it to a kite with engines.
00:36:20If that is an accurate description, then the plane could glide a great distance in case of
00:36:25engine failure.
00:36:26It certainly could. Did you get a chance to sit in the pilot's seat and get that view?
00:36:31Yes, and I was amazed. Everything was so new. As a matter of fact, that particular Wellington
00:36:38rolled off of assembly approximately two weeks ago. The design and everything is so new. Please
00:36:44understand that when Germany invaded my homeland, we fought back with what you'd call antiques.
00:36:51Do you think these new planes will be a problem with your pilots?
00:36:54Quite the opposite. They would love it. Especially Josef.
00:37:00Josef?
00:37:01Josef Zabrowski. Our squadron leader and perhaps our best pilot. But I do have a technical question.
00:37:11And that is?
00:37:13Understanding the relatively light payload.
00:37:16Forty-five hundred kilos.
00:37:19That's about average for a light bomber.
00:37:21But considering the design of the Wellington, I was thinking that it could have another usage.
00:37:30That's quite astute and perceptive. A squadron of Wellingtons is being outfitted
00:37:37for launching torpedoes.
00:37:40A new mission for an aircraft that can fly low and slow.
00:37:44Submarine hunter.
00:37:46Yes, but this is a bombing mission.
00:37:48We have some of our new Lancasters, which are four-engine bombers.
00:37:57But the majority of the planes in this mission will be Wellingtons.
00:38:02And the number will probably be close to 600.
00:38:05Vice Marshal, in total, how many bombers do you intend on sending on this mission?
00:38:15I think that the number will probably top out at around a thousand.
00:38:20Oh, boy. That is astounding.
00:38:24Well, we would hope with the rate of this magnitude that we'd be able to bring an early end to the war.
00:38:30But if this does not occur, then what will happen?
00:38:35As you heard the air marshal say, the production of the Lancaster is going at full steam.
00:38:41And certainly we plan to send over as many heavy bombers as we can, as soon as we can, beginning early next year.
00:38:52So I would imagine a year from now, these skies over here will be filled with heavy bombers from the RAF, from the Army Air Corps.
00:39:02Andre, as I mentioned yesterday, we're already planning further strikes against Germany beyond this first massive raid.
00:39:11Using your Wellingtons?
00:39:15And crews like yours.
00:39:34Good evening, Mr. Drake.
00:39:38Is this one of your pilots?
00:39:40Yes. One of our best.
00:39:42Josef Szabrosiev. Squadron leader.
00:39:46Oi, Charles. Did you hear that? Squadron leader, no less. Squadrons of what, actually?
00:39:54But where are you blokes from?
00:39:55Poland.
00:39:56Poland? Good lord. I thought there was nothing left of Poland.
00:40:02For your sake, sir, I hope that is not true.
00:40:06So when did you pilots fly back home? Kites?
00:40:10Our vessels may have been antiquated, but we fought like devils.
00:40:23So, Josef, tell me, what have you seen here in London that you admire the most?
00:40:27The women. Lots of pretty cats.
00:40:32Hey, Polish. A word of advice.
00:40:38Keep away from English ladies.
00:40:41Thanks, Henry. That should cover us.
00:40:43We will order now.
00:40:51Oh, good morning, Nurse Marie. How are you today?
00:40:55Well, look at you. You must be feeling better.
00:40:57Oh, yes. I have no fever and I got some wonderful news today.
00:41:03Tell me more.
00:41:04Well, your wonderful RAF has given me an opportunity.
00:41:11And this man, right here that you were looking at, will get to fly again.
00:41:16I see. So back in Poland, you were a pilot?
00:41:20I was. And your Royal Air Force is giving me and all the other refugee pilots a chance to fly again.
00:41:28Because they have lost so many pilots in this battle for Britain.
00:41:33This country has lost many people.
00:41:38So has Poland and everywhere else those Nazi devils have touched.
00:41:42I imagine you'll need a work release for the service.
00:41:47I will need one, yes.
00:41:52And after you give me one, I intend to go for a very nice walk.
00:41:57And I'm going to smile at everyone I see.
00:41:59And I'm sure you'll find your way to a pub.
00:42:02Now that, that sounds like a great idea.
00:42:08You'll need a follow-up next week.
00:42:10Whatever you think is necessary, Nurse Marie.
00:42:13Ah, talk, yeah!
00:42:16We are flying again!
00:42:18Your Royal Air Force was kind enough to take us on.
00:42:22Now I remember why I hate Polis.
00:42:25Because they don't know when to keep their mouth shut!
00:42:31Joseph, speak to you.
00:42:40Joseph?
00:42:41Do you need something?
00:42:44Polish?
00:42:45I am here to give you a report.
00:42:48About what?
00:42:49About your English latest.
00:42:51Captain Szebrowski?
00:42:53Last night, I had two of them come with me to my quarters.
00:42:57And they were so grateful!
00:42:59You liar!
00:43:00You liar!
00:43:05Fight!
00:43:06This I can appreciate!
00:43:08Stop it!
00:43:09Who spoke with you?
00:43:10Both of you!
00:43:12My God!
00:43:13What do you want to do?
00:43:14Make the Nazis work easier for them?
00:43:18Do you know how many of you will return to see your families?
00:43:20We are fighting an enemy that is like a vicious cancer.
00:43:27Devouring everything in its path.
00:43:30So Daytonland, Holland, France, Poland.
00:43:35Will England be next?
00:43:39You should be like brothers.
00:43:42You are not fighting for Poland.
00:43:43You are not fighting only for England.
00:43:45You are fighting for the world.
00:43:50I forgot to ask you earlier.
00:44:08What is it that you fought?
00:44:10Spitfire.
00:44:11Spitfire?
00:44:13Such a glorious aircraft.
00:44:16I shall call you Spitfire from now on.
00:44:18I shall call you Spitfire from now on.
00:44:20Cheers.
00:44:20Let's go.
00:44:37Hey Charlie.
00:44:39You know what?
00:44:44I think he might be one of the good ones.
00:44:48All right, Mr. Shabralski, it looks like you're clear on your follow-up.
00:45:11Excellent.
00:45:14And I want you to know I did take your advice about sleeping in the common room.
00:45:19I had to move a bed out there if you could get me out if it was a cold.
00:45:25And it worked.
00:45:26Nurse Marie?
00:45:37I'm sorry.
00:45:38I'm just worried about this boy we have.
00:45:41The one you told me about?
00:45:42Yes.
00:45:43Is he getting this?
00:45:46He's getting better, physically.
00:45:51I see.
00:45:52But he still only says one word.
00:45:56Joe.
00:45:58Would you mind if I talk to him?
00:46:02I don't know.
00:46:05You see, I have some experience with people like him who have what you would call shell shock.
00:46:09Okay.
00:46:22Good evening, gentlemen.
00:46:23This is Preston Dahl, the voice of Sarai, and I am here tonight with a special message for my Englishman.
00:46:34Have you forgotten your origins?
00:46:37You are Anglo-Saxons from the fatherland.
00:46:41For centuries, our countries have been very close.
00:46:45And I would like to be close to you again.
00:46:49Remember your Hanover monarchs, King George, and your magnificent Queen Victoria?
00:46:56Your current royal family is German.
00:46:59For the true name of the house is Saxa Corbidgosa, not Vinza.
00:47:06We share the same blood.
00:47:08We should not be shedding each others.
00:47:11The Luftwaffe is no longer bombing your island.
00:47:15It is time that our peoples unite once more.
00:47:19For we are both part of the Aryan nation.
00:47:23But instead, my fine pilots of the Royal Air Force, you are collaborating with the Poles.
00:47:33They are Slavs.
00:47:35They are too feeble.
00:47:37They are too cowardly to operate aircraft.
00:47:40You are risking your lives working with them.
00:47:43They are only suitable for hard labor.
00:47:48You place yourselves in grave danger and they will degrade you.
00:47:53You place yourself in the glory of the master race.
00:48:05Reclaim your heritage and join us.
00:48:16Joe, I have someone here that would like to speak with you.
00:48:19Hello, Joe.
00:48:25Your name is Joe?
00:48:27You are Joe?
00:48:30Well, you know something funny?
00:48:32My name is Joe too.
00:48:35I am Joe and you are Joe.
00:48:38I am Joe.
00:48:52No, not Joe.
00:48:55Joe.
00:48:56Joe.
00:49:11It's Joe.
00:49:12Joe!
00:49:20Joe!
00:49:27Joe!
00:49:35Hey! What's your name?
00:49:42George!
00:49:48George.
00:49:53Pleased to meet you, George.
00:49:58I have to go check something.
00:50:12His parents are looking for him. I think his last name is Drake.
00:50:26Did you say...Drake?
00:50:30I think.
00:50:44That's part of my family who was lost in the Blitz.
00:50:48Tomorrow's a big night, Andre.
00:50:54Your boy's up to it?
00:50:56They have never been more so.
00:50:59Andre, once the bombers are airborne, Major Thompson and I will be here in the office waiting.
00:51:06We want to be close to the communications center so we can get those immediate updates as they come in.
00:51:12And you're more than welcome to wait here with us.
00:51:15My wife was killed when Germany invaded our homeland, Poland.
00:51:20Oh gosh, I'm sorry to hear that.
00:51:24She often said that I was a very good father.
00:51:26I would like to play the role of the good father once more.
00:51:31How so?
00:51:33When my boys take off for that mission, I want to be on that airfield watching them leave.
00:51:40And I would also like to be there when they return.
00:51:45You're gonna have a long wait, Andre.
00:51:47I will have my wife to speak with.
00:51:53With your permission.
00:51:55Of course, most certainly.
00:52:23Pardon Father.
00:52:25Colonel Hoffner.
00:52:27I understand you have an emergency matter to discuss.
00:52:30Yeah.
00:52:32We have received information that the large RAF formation is in the air and headed towards Germany.
00:52:38What is their target?
00:52:40At first we thought it was Hamburg.
00:52:42But the weather in Hamburg is not ideal for this type of raid.
00:52:46So we don't believe that's a target.
00:52:49The British would know this.
00:52:51Of course they would.
00:52:53So where do you think they will strike?
00:52:56Don't worry.
00:52:58It won't be here in Berlin.
00:53:00The RAF doesn't have enough long-range bombers to launch such a large raid here.
00:53:05What precautions are you taking?
00:53:07Well, of course everyone is on high alert.
00:53:10And the aircraft batteries, of course, and BF-109s are ready to respond immediately.
00:53:17How many bombers do you think they have?
00:53:23Our operatives have lost count.
00:53:26I do not understand how the British are able to man so many planes.
00:53:31We shot down so many of their aircraft.
00:53:32Yeah.
00:53:33They recruited them from the refugees that they evacuated at Dunkirk.
00:53:38What nationality are these refugees?
00:53:42Well, it varies.
00:53:44But the majority of the pilots are Poles.
00:53:46Dirty Poles.
00:53:47Dirty Poles.
00:53:48Dirty Poles.
00:54:16The shot.
00:54:19Don't worry.
00:54:20We are Sofn!
00:54:31Spitfires!
00:54:33The band are not coming to us.
00:54:34Spitfires!
00:54:36The plants are not coming, there's us!
